Cocorico 2 Opens in France With Star Power and Finer Pacing

Early French reviews call it a small step up with jokes many find broad.

Overview

  • The sequel, which reached French cinemas Wednesday, arrived with no advance screenings for the public or the press.
  • Director Julien Hervé continues the feud between two families as an unexpected relative and flawed DNA reports set off new misunderstandings.
  • Early reviews highlight tighter pacing carried by Christian Clavier and Didier Bourdon, while noting heavy, sometimes forced humor.
  • The film runs 1 hour 31 minutes and features a post‑credits scene with Didier Bourdon.
  • The original drew nearly 2 million moviegoers in 2024, so this release will test whether the franchise can repeat that box-office pull.
